Jose Mourinho wants to bring back the glory days of Sir Alex Ferguson to Manchester United

And although he brought trophies to the club, Mourinho is concentrating on bring success over a long-term period like legendary manager Sir Alex.

Mourinho — who has never spent more than three years managing a club — told ESPN: “I am ready for this. I am ready for the next 15, I would say. Here? Yes, why not?

“I have to admit that it is very difficult because of the pressure around our jobs, everybody putting pressure on managers and things that people say — that we have to win, but in reality only one can win and every year it is getting more difficult.

“But what I try to do in the club is show that my work goes further than the football results, that it goes to areas that people don’t think of as a manager’s job.

“In my vision, my job is much more than what I do on the pitch and the results that my team gets at the weekend.

“This club, for so many years, was Sir Alex.
